To elaborate on what Bill says, you just may be reaching the limit of the amp. Solid state amps don't distort as musically as a tube amp. Kustom was the best of the solid state bunch. No, superior to ANY other SS amp. I replace my filter caps with larger versions. I replaced my 2500mF caps in my K100 with 10,000mF caps. Get them with the same voltage rating or larger. But remember, the caps get larger as the ratings go up. I had to lay mine down as they were much taller but smaller in diameter and they would hit the reverb tank unless I laid them down. If they get too big, you may experience the frying of the power fuse when you power it up for the first time. A time delay fuse will solve that problem. But no larger than the original rating.
